| Popis: | The amino acid composition (AAC) of the coat proteins (CPs) of 126 plant viruses or strains were analyzed by stepwise discriminant analysis. The criteria chosen for discrimination were: the structure of virus particles (3 clusters); the mode of of transmission of the viruses (6 clusters); and the grouping of viruses according to the classification of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (23 groups). Statistically significant correlations were obtained with different groups of discriminant amino acids. The results confirm that the AAC of the CPs contains all the information needed for a quantitative classification of plant viruses. These results and possible explanations of these clustering patterns are discussed. |
